Out of Rotation, a Discogs shelf-and-play-history tool
A browser-based record-collection tool that uses Discogs data to surface albums you own but have not played recently.
Field notes
The tool organizes a public Discogs collection around recent listening rather than simple ownership. Its picker combines play history with collection metadata, offering filters for mood, genre, style, decade, format, and folder, while “cold corners” identify less-played parts of the shelf. The page also includes export and restore controls for moving between browsers or devices. Sleeve imagery can come from Apple’s catalog without a token, though the page says this may miss white labels, unusual pressings, and digitally unreleased records.
